By dividing it up each time, the projects that never get any help would all see a nice boost from us friendly people at OCN. Everyone deserves a share of our collective computing power, not just the Moo and POEM guys

I think thats what projects of the month are for. I just wished we went back to voting for POTM.Edited by goodtobeking - 11/27/12 at 6:36pm

Ok, but even discounting the tiered prize system we've been discussing, do you not think my suggestion of choosing which project(s) to run each BGB would be of a huge benefit to the BOINC community as a whole? That way everyone gets a share of our help; after all, we do contribute a HUGE amount over a very short period of time during each BGB.

The only problem I have with your idea Oliver is, if the prizes are split between each project how do you choose which one goes where? I see where your coming from and some ppl have suggested tier limit is widened for the more expensive prizes. But that would also push ppl away to join up. It shouldnt be about the prizes to join up for a BGB event, it should be because you want to give all your money to the electric company

Agreed there would be problems dividing prizes, but I don't think it would be impossible to reach a consensus.

Prize division aside, the more important suggestion I think is deciding on different projects each month. Even if it was as simple as 1 CPU and 1 GPU each month...

I dont think that picking projects to run each BGB is a bad idea. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot but that is up to the "higher ups".
On a side note, is getting 50k ppd on f@h good, bad, ugly.

Depends on what your running - gear wise

Well how about adding a voting option on a new thread and ask fellow boincers to pick a project to have as the following months potm. 2 for projects to keep us in the lead and 1 for "what the heck" project
